Pains, Drains, and Auto Machines

One of the funniest movies I have ever watched was Planes, Trains, and Automobiles about a man trying to travel home in time for Thanksgiving and everything that can go wrong - does!




By the time it got to the part where they are driving in a burned out car frame, I had tears running down my face from laughing so hard.





Kind of feels like my week - everything that could go wrong - did - only I am not laughing:

Pains - Includes the normal aches and pains from Parkinson's, but add to it a yucky summer cold - and some family pains in the ... umm... neck!!

Drains - One of ours stopped - draining that is.  My efforts to clear it out on my own so that I didn't have to call a plumber, resulted in a broken pipe .... and a call to the plumber!

Auto Machines - (That's auto for automatic)  For months now our dryer timer has been broken, but, hey - the dryer still works - we just have to remember to turn it off (and hope we don't burn down the house when we forget and leave it running for several hours.)  This week our wash machine decided to start stopping in the middle of cycles.  It also still runs - if we go down and turn it back on.   So we now have a dryer that won't turn off and a wash machine that won't stay turned on!   Got to love machines!!!  

Not a fun week!  But - life is still good!  It isn't always pretty though!
